What are some home remedies for thrush in newborns?

Recipes including tea tree oil, vinegar, baking soda, garlic and olive oil are all home remedies for thrush in newborns, says BabyCareAdvice. Dilute any of the above ingredients with cool water, and rinse the affected area two to four times daily.

Thrush is a common strain of yeast that adults harmlessly carry in their bodies, writes BabyCareAdvice. However, infants are not born with thrush in their bodies, and the initial infection causes discomfort.

Thrush can manifest in many parts of a newborn's body, including the mouth and diaper area. Take caution when treating affected areas with a home remedy, as newborns frequently have unknown allergies or sensitivities, cautions BabyCareAdvice.
